"Thunder on the Deck" |
| You can almost hear the roar of the jet engines and the hissing steam from the catapults as the Marine F-4 Phantom (specifications) prepares to launch from the USS Coral Sea (CV-43) during the Iran hostage crisis. The Marine F-4 Phantom from VMF-531, "The Grey Ghosts" (source photo), were one of two squadrons stationed on the Coral Sea and comprised the first all Marine Fighter Wing on the carrier. |
